How this is calculated

  1. Line total = quantity × unit price. Equipment (printers, multicolor units, dryers, workshop gear) gets your sales tax; filament, packaging and fees don't, because rules differ by state. Adjust if yours differ.
  2. Per printer = one-time total ÷ number of printers.
  3. Maker list prices were read from Bambu Lab's US store on Oct 17, 2026. Bambu's AMS pages say some printers need extra accessories (a hub, adapters or cables), sold separately; add them as items.
  4. Fees you have to look up: Etsy's policy says a one-time shop set-up fee may apply and is shown during setup, without stating the amount. Business registration fees depend on your state and business type; check your Secretary of State's site. SpoolQuote doesn't fill these in.

"See payback" sends printers and multicolor units as the upfront cost, and everything else as other startup costs, to the payback page.
